Net income (loss)		$	(801	)		$	388			$	(811	)		$	208

2016 Full-Year Guidance:

ENGIE Acquisition Update:

• Issued $2 billion term loan and $460 million in tangible equity units to substantially complete acquisition financing
• Acquired Energy Capital Partners’ (ECP) 35% interest in the Atlas joint venture, which was originally formed to purchase ENGIE’s U.S. fossil portfolio
• The Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) approved Dynegy’s acquisition of ENGIE’s Texas fossil assets on July 20; the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is the last remaining regulatory approval

Recent Developments:

• Dynegy to sell its 50% equity interest in Elwood Energy LLC to J-Power USA Development Co. Ltd. for $172.5 million; approximately $35 million previously posted collateral to be returned
• Completed 197 MW of advanced gas path (AGP) uprates at five plants, exceeding target of 179 MW
• 500 MW incremental MISO capacity from Hennepin and Joppa to be pseudo tied to PJM beginning June 1, 2017

Dynegy Inc. (NYSE: DYN) reported a net loss for the 2016 second quarter of $801 million, compared to net income of $388 million for the 2015 second quarter. The quarter-over-quarter decrease is primarily due to a $480 million deferred tax valuation allowance reversal in the second quarter 2015, which did not reoccur in 2016, and a $645 million asset impairment in the second quarter of 2016 primarily related to previously disclosed asset shutdowns.

The Company reported consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of $187 million, compared to $193 million for the 2015 second quarter. The $6 million decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by a net increase in operating and maintenance costs in the Gas Segment as a result of a concentration of major planned outages during the quarter partially offset by lower operating and maintenance costs at the Coal and IPH segments due to fewer planned outages.

The net loss for the first half of 2016 was $811 million, compared to net income of $208 million for the first half of 2015. The year-to-date decrease was primarily driven by the second quarter 2015 valuation allowance reversal and second quarter 2016 asset impairment noted above.

For the first half of 2016, the Company reported consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of $438 million, compared to $278 million for the first half of 2015. The $160 million increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by assets the Company acquired during the second quarter of 2015 and higher capacity revenues in all segments. Partially offsetting these improvements were lower realized power prices and lower generation volumes at the Coal and IPH segments as well as lower spark spreads and generation volumes at the Gas segment, resulting from mild winter weather. Higher operating and maintenance costs associated with planned outages in the Gas segment also impacted results.

“During the quarter we continued the transformation of our portfolio. Through our disciplined approach, we completed efficient uprates, made steady progress on the ENGIE acquisition and arranged for the sale of the Elwood Energy Facility. In addition, we announced the retirement of 1,835 MW of generation, and the movement of 500 MW from MISO to PJM,” said Dynegy President and Chief Executive Officer Robert C. Flexon. “The desired outcome from all of these efforts, as well as our ongoing PRIDE improvement program, is a well-constructed portfolio composed of the right assets in the right markets supported by the right balance sheet that generates a strong return for our shareholders.”

(1)		EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures and are used by management to evaluate Dynegy’s business on an ongoing basis. Please refer to Item 2.02 of Dynegy’s Form 8-K which is available on the Company’s website: www.dynegy.com and filed on August 3, 2016, for definitions, purposes and uses of such non-GAAP financial measures. General and administrative expenses are not allocated to each segment and are included in the Other segment. Management does not allocate interest expense and income taxes on a segment level and therefore uses Operating income (loss) as the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
(2)		Not adjusted for these items which are excluded in 2016: (i) non-cash compensation expense of $8 million, and (ii) Wood River’s energy margin and O&M costs of $9 million.

Segment Review of Results Quarter-over-Quarter

Gas - The 2016 second quarter operating income was $90 million, compared to $86 million for the same period in 2015. Adjusted EBITDA totaled $184 million during the 2016 second quarter compared to $202 million during the same period in 2015. The quarter-over-quarter decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was driven by higher operating and maintenance costs associated with planned major outages. The Company utilized these planned outages to install capacity uprates. These expenses, together with lower energy margin, were partially offset by higher capacity revenues.

Coal - The 2016 second quarter operating loss was $749 million, compared to $5 million for the same period in 2015. Adjusted EBITDA totaled $26 million during the 2016 second quarter compared to $19 million during the same period in 2015. The quarter-over-quarter increase in Adjusted EBITDA primarily resulted from lower operating and maintenance expense due to fewer planned outages. Lower energy margin driven by weaker power prices during the quarter was offset by higher capacity revenues and higher retail margins.

IPH - The 2016 second quarter operating income was $3 million, compared to an operating loss of $14 million for the same period in 2015. Adjusted EBITDA totaled $11 million during the 2016 second quarter compared to $5 million during the same period in 2015. The quarter-over-quarter increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to lower operating and maintenance expense due to fewer planned outages. An increase in capacity revenues during the period offset lower energy margin resulting from lower power prices and generation.

Liquidity

As of June 30, 2016, Dynegy’s total available liquidity was $2.2 billion as reflected in the table below, and excludes amounts classified as restricted cash in our unaudited consolidated balance sheet.

						June 30, 2016
(amounts in millions)						Dynegy Inc.							IPH (1) (2)							Total
Revolving facilities and LC capacity (3)						$	1,480						$	39						$	1,519

Cash and cash equivalents						1,066							76							1,142
Total available liquidity (4)						$	2,159						$	88						$	2,247

		(1)		Includes cash and cash equivalents of $42 million related to Genco.
		(2)		Due to the ring-fenced nature of IPH, cash at the IPH and Genco entities may not be moved out of these entities without meeting certain criteria. However, cash at these entities is available to support current operations of these entities.
		(3)		Dynegy Includes: (i) $950 million of aggregate available capacity related to our incremental revolving credit facilities, (ii) $475 million of available capacity related to the five-year senior secured revolving credit facility, and (iii) $55 million related to a letter of credit facility. IPH includes (i) up to a maximum of $25 million related to the two-year secured letter of credit facility and (ii) $14 million related to our fully collateralized letter of credit and reimbursement agreement.
		(4)		On December 2, 2013, Dynegy and Illinois Power Resources, LLC entered into an intercompany revolving promissory note of $25 million. At June 30, 2016, there was approximately $25 million outstanding on the note, which is not reflected in the table above.

Consolidated Cash Flow

Cash provided by operations for the first half of 2016 was $317 million. During the period, our power generation facilities and retail operations provided cash of $462 million. Corporate and other activities used cash of $250 million primarily for interest payments on various debt agreements. Changes in working capital and other, net of general and administrative expenses, provided cash of $105 million during the period.

Cash used in investing activities during the first half of 2016 was $2.278 billion. During the first half of 2016, non-current restricted cash increased by $2.0 billion from proceeds from the Tranche C Term Loan being held in escrow for the ENGIE acquisition and $69 million in related pre-funded interest and original issuance discount. Additionally, the Company paid $206 million in maintenance capital expenditures, $11 million in environmental capital expenditures and $7 million in capitalized interest. These decreases were partially offset by receipt of an $8 million cash inflow related to distributions from our unconsolidated investment and receipt of $7 million in proceeds from an insurance claim.

Cash provided by financing activities during the first half of 2016 was $2.598 billion. During the period, the Company received (i) $2.0 billion in proceeds related to the Tranche C Term Loan, (ii) $446 million in net proceeds from our tangible equity units, and (iii) $198 million of proceeds related to our forward capacity agreement, partially offset by $20 million in repayments associated with our equipment financing agreements and Tranche B-2 Term Loan, $11 million in dividend payments on our mandatory convertible preferred stock, and $9 million in interest rate swap settlement payments.

ENGIE Acquisition

During the second quarter, Dynegy acquired Energy Capital Partners’ (ECP) 35% interest in the Atlas joint venture, which the two companies formed in February 2016 to purchase ENGIE’s U.S. fossil portfolio. In accordance with the agreement with ECP, Dynegy will pay ECP $375 million on the later of December 31, 2016 or three months after the closing of the transaction. Alternatively, Dynegy may pay the ECP buyout price after the first payment date, but in such case, the ECP buyout price would be subject to quarterly escalation up to a maximum of $468.5 million.

After reaching an agreement with ECP to acquire their interest in the Atlas joint venture, Dynegy substantially completed the transaction financing by raising a new $2 billion, seven-year, secured term loan and $460 million in tangible equity units. A total of $125 million in incremental liquidity facilities will also be available upon the completion of the acquisition. The Company will use the net proceeds from the financing, together with the proceeds of ECP’s purchase of $150 million of the Company’s common stock to occur concurrently with the closing of the acquisition and existing liquidity, to fund the acquisition and pay related fees and expenses.

On July 20, 2016, Dynegy received final approval for the acquisition from the PUCT and remains on schedule to complete the acquisition of ENGIE’s U.S. fossil portfolio in the fourth quarter of 2016 pending the approval of FERC.

Elwood Energy Facility Divestiture

Dynegy announced today that it has signed a definitive agreement to sell its 50% equity interest in the Elwood Energy Facility in Elwood, IL to its partner, J-Power USA Development Co. Ltd. for $172.5 million in cash. At closing, approximately $35 million in previously posted collateral will be returned to Dynegy, and the non-recourse asset level financing currently in place will remain with the new owner. The Company intends to use the proceeds of the sale, which is expected to close in the fourth quarter, to satisfy a portion of its buyout obligation to ECP. JP Morgan serves as financial advisor and Skadden, Arps serves as legal counsel on the transaction.

MISO Pathway to PJM

In late May, Dynegy filed the Illinois Generation Reliability Act to make Illinois a 100% PJM market instead of its current split between two markets, PJM and MISO. The legislation is consistent with Dynegy’s overall objective of moving all of the Company’s Illinois generating assets to PJM.

Outside of this process, the Company received approval for 500 MW of incremental MISO capacity from Hennepin and Joppa to be pseudo tied to PJM beginning June 1, 2017. Dynegy will continue to explore similar paths for its remaining plants in MISO while we wait for a ruling on the proposed legislation.

Illinois Unit Shutdowns

On May 3, 2016, Dynegy announced plans to shut down units one and three at the Baldwin Power Station in Baldwin, IL and unit two at the Newton Power Station in Newton, IL after they failed to clear the recent MISO capacity auction. MISO has approved the shutdown of Newton unit two by September 15, 2016 and the shutdown of Baldwin unit one by October 17, 2016. The Company plans to file the shutdown notice for Baldwin unit three in the third quarter. Dynegy’s Wood River Power Station retired on June 1, 2016.

Uprates

During the 2016 second quarter, Dynegy completed nearly 200 MW of AGP uprates at five plants as part of the plans the Company announced at its investor day in June 2015.

2016 Guidance

Dynegy’s full-year Adjusted EBITDA guidance range has been updated to $1,000-1,100 million from $1,000 million to $1,200 million previously and Free Cash Flow guidance updated to $200-300 million from $200 million to $400 million previously.

PRIDE Energized

PRIDE Energized, the Company’s Producing Results through Innovation by Dynegy Employees program, aims to deliver an incremental $250 million in EBITDA and $400 million in balance sheet improvements by the end of 2018. The Company is on target to achieve the $135 million in Adjusted EBITDA and exceed the $200 million in balance sheet improvements it committed to for this year.

New Brand Represents Dynegy’s Growth and Transformation

Dynegy unveiled a new brand yesterday in recognition of how far the Company has come and where it is headed. The brand, which features a bird on a soaring trajectory under a boundless sky, is also a D monogram that represents the Company’s strength and reliability you can count on when needed.

“This brand change is a mile marker on Dynegy’s transformative journey. We have rebuilt and enhanced our asset base in just the past few years adding the Ameren, Duke and EquiPower asset portfolios, and with the expected acquisition of the ENGIE assets,” added Flexon. “Dynegy is a much different company today - a Company that is moving forward and upward and one that believes transparency and reliability are at the heart of our dynamic energy company.”

Any or all of Dynegy’s forward-looking statements may turn out to be wrong. They can be affected by inaccurate assumptions or by known or unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors, many of which are beyond Dynegy’s control, including those set forth under Item 1A - Risk Factors of Dynegy’s Form 10-K.
